The technology uses a 3-D sensing module and locates and tracks the ear position sending audio via ultrasonic waves to create sound pockets by the users ears. Sound can be heard in stereo or a spatial 3-D mode that creates 360 degree sound around the listener, the company said.

"You dont believe it because it sounds like a speaker, but no one else can hear itits supporting you and youre in the middle of everything. Its happening around you.
By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. Its also possible to move out of the beams path and hear nothing at all, which creates a surreal experience.

Please put this in cars so loons will stop blasting their base into people's houses ans businesses.

I just want to restore this world back to the natural. Bring order to this broken reality. To the way it should have been, all those many years ago.

Those bone conduction ones? Tried them once, a bit lacking in bass but otherwise cool stuff.

I have a car with around 7,000 watts >_> I don't do that in town, and rarely drive it. It is fun as a toy tho. People that do that in town are jerks

You're misunderstanding why they do that. They'd aim it outward so that it pierced ears and made people look to see why.

I have those, they're amazing. Only $99 and surprisingly great sound quality. I can wear them at work, walking at night, etc. My life constantly has background music now.

Before covid I worked in a kind of tutoring office (now we're online). I let all the staff try them and 4/6 bought sets right away. We all have better headphones for home, but these let us listen to music while teaching and such. Personally I still use mine daily and would never go back to earbuds.

Could I connect this to some app that changes music depending on my position, which you can customize, to give yoy background music. Also change it to up tempo when my pulse is high.

The audio is also 3D spacial. Could this be the first defining technology of the 2020s?

That audio technology has existed for quite some time (normally audible soundwaves superimposed on ultrasonic frequencies that until it hits a surface cannot be heard by anyone and if it is quiet enough, no one else can hear the reverberations unless you are very close to the listener). This is a logical step forward that also implements head tracking so it isn't that easy to move out of the way of the beam as it is very tight (like only a foot or two in width).

This aspect of ultrasound has been known for decades. It originally was used in audio spotlight technology: an audio billboard "in your head."
